How to Save Audio Files Using WavePad

One of the best features of a computer is that of the integrated media player. However, from time to time you will happen across audio files that are incompatible with your media player(s). However, there are ways of converting these audio files to the proper format. For example, if you are burning a CD and the audio files are all in the .wav format, they may not all fit on the CD. However, if you were to use a program to convert them to the smaller sized .MP3 format, they will most assuredly fit.
